@messijiHow are the reviews for this course?

As some have said. It is nice but at last it depends on you how well you use it.

I joined it last year in anticipation that I will clear Prelims(didn't clear eventually though). Key takeaways-

1. Useful for additions in Part B of Paper 2.

2. Also many PYQs covered by mam.

3.Very poor paper checking. Kind of a deal breaker here.

4.Also since it will be online this time around, I guess not everybody is comfortable attending 3 hours classes.

5.Takes a good proportion of your time. Say you will be spending 3 hours,3 days a week.

An alternative I am looking to join this year-

Some not-so popular PSIR Test Series. This will help in a better feedback on Answer Writing. Most probably going with Lukmaan Ias.The faculty over there looked quite good(from the Youtube videos uploaded). If anybody has an idea about Lukmaan faculty, do contribute.

@mightyraju Looking for a less famous test series too - but Lukmaan has only pub ad test series, not PSIR, at least from their website. Have you checked out SleepyClasses? They’re coming up with a test series soon but not sure exactly when.

If anyone has read the book "The India Way" by S Jaishankar, provide the review and suggest whether one has to read the book for Paper 2 section B preparation

Hey guys, has anyone come across a substantive critique of Arendt on any count? Did not find anything in my standard sources.
